Probably the funniest show ever
put on in this city will be that which
will take place on this coming Friday
evening at the Opera House. You
leedn’s doubt but what you will near
ly crack your sides laughing when
you see your next door neighbor
dressed up as a little school boy.
Wouldn’t it just turn over your tickle
box to hear your digniled deacon or
steward or elder recite “I have ten
lingers and ten toes,” etc.? How
about three of our most prominent
business men getting into a fight and
being nearly—but that’s telling—you
just come and see. Wouldn't it
bend you double to see Mr. So-and-so
with a pair of shoes three sizes to
large and a hat six sizes too small on
his way to school wih a tin bucket?
And then*—those ladies! How
about that stately missionary society-
member being suddenly converted
into a giggling gum chewing little
miss that can’t spell her own name
fight? We understand there will be
one very up to date young niiss come
to visit the District Skule. And you
certainly have yet to see and hear
he “last word” in being deaf, until
you see and hear one of the board
of visitors who comes to this Friday
afternoon exhibition. She is a scream
from start to finish.
Have you ever seen—yes that is
right seen—as well as heard Susan
Myrick and Madison Hines cry? Oh
baby, you have something to live for!
Nothing goes right when “Brother
Henry” (who could this be but Mr.
Wootten?) takes them to school to
“hear the chillun speachify”—but
stops on the way to “catch a fish.”
Yes, Susan and Madison are twins
and they get into ail sorts of mis
chief and certainly “catch it” from
“big brother”—when he “catches on.”
We don’t want to tell you all about
it because there must be something
to be looked forward to as a sur
prise—but let us tell you right now—
Don’t be surprised at anything that
happens at the District Skule next
Friday night.
The local orchestra will be on hand
to play for us and this will add great
ly to the enjoyment of the occasion.
You want to come early and be in
your seat before 8:30—for you do
not wish to miss the very first thing,
so plan to get there—hear the music
and see the other fellow come in.
Seats will be placed on sale at the
Colonial Wednesday morning and will
be $1 f°r reserved seats and fifty
cents admission. Come early and get
yours before the rush takes the best.
On Friday, December 17th, in
Parks Hall parlor, there will be held
the December meeting of the Wo
man’s Club. This will be a miscel
laneous meeting in one sense of the
word, inasmuch as it will have the
Christinas spirit running through it.
Uncle Remus will be remembered by
a reading by Miss Myrick. Bird and
Arbor Day will he observed under
the head of Conservation and For
estry--this being under the direction
of Miss Floride Allen. Miss Allen
has kindly consented to accept the
iislrict chairmanship of Conservation
and Forestry, and as this will be her
first appearance at our club as a
new member and also in her official
capacity as a district officer. We
must give her a rousing welcome.
There will also be a statement by
the president as to the club activi
ties and the causes that the club sup
ports financially. We have all known
this since the club was founded, but
it is well to talk them over and earn
each year what splendid work our
clubs are doing and how much good
our money is doing. The treasurer
will be ready to make a report. All
members have not paid their dues—
can’t you do so before this meeting—
we will hav
make? January was adopted by the
i.strict as “pay month” and we want
o hold up our end of the line by
loing what is expected of us—that
s, : ending checks for every pledge
.liidc— -Tallulah, Celeste Parrish and I
Ella F. White Fund. These will be
explained more fully at this meeting.
There are also several other matters
of great importance to come up—so
everybody be on hand.
The music will be under the di
rection of rMs. M. M. Parks and we
know we have a treat in store.
The social half hour will be an in
formal reception in honov of Miss
Vilen, our new district chairman, and
all new members who joined in at the
November meeting and who will come
in at this meeting—so watch out and
be there-—and come on time—three
o’clock. Circle No. 4 will be hostess,
Mesdames D. F. Montgomery and
Charles Davis, chairmen. Bring your
cup and saucer if you didn’t last
time.
Miss Allen wishes everyone to be
thinking about planting a tree or
some beautiful shrubs and flowers,
and says we must not use holly this
year, except, maybe, a little sprig to
put in a vase on your table. So
watch your step.
Also dbl you know you would soon
have to elect your club officers for
another year? Put on your think
ing cap, for you will be asked in the
oear future to bring a list of pro
posed officers, telling why you think
■-hey would be good ones, and these
•lips will be handed over to the nom-
riating committee which will be ap
pointed early in the year. It would
’ e a good idea to have the new club
-'resident attend the district meeting
?re in May in her official capacity.
Vs our constitution says officers are
o he elected in May—we may have
to change that to April if the club
sees fit—it is being done over the
Dstrict for this very reason—to give
the new president a chance to go to
he convention and get lots of in
spiration to “carry on.” So this is
an official notice that at the January
necting (notice has to be published
• month ahead) we may wish to
change a few words in our constitu
tion—so hear this in mind.
Be on hand next Friday and come
with a smile and the Christmas
spirit in your heart like Tiny Tim—
“God bless us all.”
